Why it matters
The pairing puts a game producer turned crypto exchange president next to a producer now funding a Macross singing project, so the panel's subject is the same fan spending both of them already depend on.
The 13:30 session pairs Coincheck president Tomoyuki Isaka with AUGUST president Kei Hirono on how AI changes creators' work and the fan economy. The two came up through game operations and now run services in entertainment and finance.
Kei Hirono founded AUGUST in July 2025 and is involved in the project to revive Uta Macross, whose crowdfunding closed on October 31, 2026 with 8,356 backers and 254 million yen raised. Tomoyuki Isaka became Coincheck's representative director and president in June 2026, after executive roles at the company from November 2022, and also holds the Chief Platform Officer post at Coincheck Group N.V. The summit runs sessions by speakers from Japan, China, and South Korea, plus a keynote by Yoichiro Miyake of Tokyo University of the Arts.
